Panda DC: Encuentro Inolvidable en el Zoológico Nacional

Very good collection of some rare animals - flamingos / pelicans walking around the lake, tapirs, wallabies and of course the 2 giant pandas who were the mascots of the Beijing Olympics👍🏻

Great zoo but definitely a long long walk with a toddler and very tiring. Not enough shady areas and the shuttle service was not offered to us at the entrance. We came to know about it near the end of our journey. The 'photography' service at the entrance should be shortened and the staff should be less insisting to take photos and sell them to you... made our toddler very nervous and tired. Staff at the panda viewing area to be properly trained and be more gentle with clients as they spoke very rudely to ask us to leave our pram and rush inside, we even left our personal belongings in the pram due to pressure.

Would like to have spent longer with the beautiful baby panda, unfortunately "tidak boleh". Overall this is a good zoo, would be 5* if the front gate ticketing staff were less prejudiced. We've had several lovely visits with the exception of the ticketting staff bluntly refusing to accept Malaysian government ID cards from people with lighter skin colour. Of course the borders haven't been closed for 18+ months and so we don't obviously actually live here............ as shown on the IC presented......
